"Although Mr. Lu is an official from elsewhere, he has been managing Huan Sha Island for many years. Over these years, the developnt of Huan Sha Island has been getting better and better. Mr. Lu has a part in that success. As for the Lin Family, heh..."
"The Lin Family may not necessarily be good people."
"It’s possible that these rumors were created by the Lin father and son."
Clearly, there are still quite a few wise people who have set aside the rumors and seen the essence and truth of the matter.
And these people would later be grateful for their wisdom.
anwhile, after Sheng Zexi left Mr. Lu’s place.
He went ho.
And told Gu Jia Ning about the rumors outside and the orders given.
Gu Jia Ning was montarily stunned upon hearing it, then calmly said, "This is alright."
Gu Jia Ning does not agree with forcibly giving orders and forcing evacuations.
Over the years, she has co to understand a principle.
That is, if you know soone is in danger, you can save them.
However, if you are willing to offer help but the person is not accepting, for whatever reason, then don’t interfere further.
"Brother Xi, that future newspaper is a gift from the heavens, a given opportunity."
"But opportunities are not things you can wish for and they’ll appear."
"One ti is a gift, more than that is unnecessary."
"We can help people, but we don’t need to interfere with their fate."
"Everyone has their own fate, let’s respect each person’s fate."
"There’s no need to burden ourselves with those causes and effects, as long as we have a clear conscience."
This was Gu Jia Ning comforting Sheng Zexi, also advising herself.
She isn’t a saint and doesn’t need to be responsible for everyone’s fate.
Sheng Zexi wrapped Gu Jia Ning in his arms, "You’re right."
In fact, Sheng Zexi’s thoughts aligned with Gu Jia Ning’s.
Even though he’s a soldier, and a soldier’s natural duty is to protect the country and its people.
But he is also human, with emotions and desires, his own sentints.
For everything, one should not force it; do your best and have a clear conscience.
"Alright, let’s not talk about this now. I’ll keep an eye on the typhoon. I’ll take you to the hospital now." Sheng Zexi said.
Gu Jia Ning’s due date is these days.
But a strong typhoon is arriving tomorrow. Sheng Zexi was worried that he might not be able to take care of things in ti, so it was more prudent to take Gu Jia Ning to where there are doctors present in advance.
"I’ve already hired a nanny, she’s a woman from the island, quite nice, she’ll take care of you."
"Okay."
"And what about Xingxing and Yueyue?"
"The kindergarten doesn’t require attendance due to the impending typhoon."
"I’m not comfortable with them being ho alone, and it’s not ideal for them to accompany you to the hospital. So I asked Zhao Weiguo’s wife for assistance to take care of them. During the typhoon days, they can stay at the Zhao ho. How do you feel about that? Zhao Weiguo and his wife agreed."
Gu Jia Ning thought about it for a mont, then nodded, "That’s okay, but we should ask Xingxing and Yueyue for their opinion first."
"Sure, I’ll go ask them now."
Soon, Sheng Zexi found Xingxing and Yueyue and inford them of the decision.
"Dad might have to go on a mission, and Mom needs to go to the hospital to give birth, so she won’t be able to take care of you. For the next few days, you’ll temporarily stay at Uncle Zhao Weiguo’s house, and his wife will take care of you. Are you okay with this?"
Xingxing and Yueyue remained silent, exchanging glances.
Because of the typhoon matter, Sheng Zexi might be very busy, possibly won’t even return ho.
Even if he has ti, he would definitely prioritize going to the hospital to check on Gu Jia Ning’s situation.
Therefore, if Xingxing and Yueyue were ho, apart from Amber, there would be no one to take care of them.
If Amber were human, it would be manageable, but Amber is a dog and can protect them but can’t take care of them.
Xingxing and Yueyue also considered this aspect. Actually, they wanted to go to the hospital with Mom.
The two little ones felt that since Mom was giving birth to a sibling and Dad was busy, they should accompany Mom at the hospital and protect her.
But they also understood they were just over two years old, only kids.
They wouldn’t be much help, and going there might distract Mom and cause trouble.
So, even though they didn’t want to be separated from Mom, the siblings nodded and agreed.
Thus, before taking Gu Jia Ning to the hospital, Sheng Zexi first dropped Xingxing and Yueyue at Zhao Weiguo’s ho, bringing along a bag of groceries, so tickets, as well as the siblings’ clothes and toiletries, etc.
Zhao Weiguo’s wife, gentle in deanor, warmly welcod Xingxing and Yueyue.
And the Zhao Family has three children, two daughters and a son.
All of them are older than Xingxing and Yueyue.
These children keen on appearances, really liked and welcod the beautiful Xingxing and Yueyue.
"You stay well at Uncle Zhao’s house. Once Dad is done with his mission and Mom has given birth to your sibling, we’ll co to take you ho."
"You need to be good, okay?" Before leaving, Sheng Zexi reminded them.
Xingxing and Yueyue nodded, though reluctant, they said, "Dad, we rember, we will behave."
"Good." Sheng Zexi patted their heads and hugged them before leaving.
Once back ho, Sheng Zexi took Gu Jia Ning’s luggage, along with so items prepared for childbirth, and headed to the county hospital.
On the way, he noticed evident changes in the weather.
Increasingly hot and muggy, the low air pressure made it difficult to breathe.
Once Gu Jia Ning was settled in the single room at the county hospital, the wind began.
Sheng Zexi looked at the swaying branches outside the window; the wind had clearly picked up.
At this mont, a woman in her forties, almost fifty, walked in – dressed simply, her deanor kind and pleasant.
This was the woman Sheng Zexi had hired to care for Gu Jia Ning, known as Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou is a local of Huan Sha Island. Due to her family’s difficulties, she occasionally works as a temporary caregiver at the county hospital to earn so extra money.
Sheng Zexi noticed her when he was handling Gu Jia Ning’s hospital admission and felt she would do well, thus hired her for this period to care for Gu Jia Ning.
Aunt Zhou quickly adeptly positioned herself after eting Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning.
She spoke little, but her actions were quick and efficient, and she was very considerate in her care; Gu Jia Ning held a positive impression of her.
Sheng Zexi, for the ti being, had nothing urgent, so he stayed in the hospital accompanying Gu Jia Ning.
And as dusk approached.
The islanders who had agreed to evacuate had left, while those who were unwilling remained in their hos, continuing their life.
As night fell, everything seed calm, yet in truth, it was rely the peace before the storm...
